basic medical sciences.
To develop the academic faculty, flourish research and technology to international standards to
benefit medical institutions and industry which ultimately wil help in the economic growth of the
OBJECTIVES AND FUNCTIONS OF IBMS
1. To expedite the academic growth and development in undergraduate medical education by providing
properly qualified and trained basic sciences teachers.
2. To institutionalize research by producing more PhDs, particularly in the emerging fields of basic medical
sciences like immunology and molecular biology.
3. To develop linkages with leading institutions nationally and internationally for collaboration and
exposure of local research scholars.
4. To keep academicians updated, short refresher courses wil be run to disseminate latest academic and
research advancement in the filed of basic medical sciences.
5. Better educated and trained health care professionals engaged as academician, researchers and field
practitioners wil revamp the health care delivery system and replenish the academia in the medical
education set up. The community wil be the ultimate beneficiary due to better heath facilities.
6. To improve health standards of the community in this underdeveloped region of the world, focus of
research wil be on regional medical issues.
7. Trained human resource wil successful y execute and streamline the operations of the Institute and wil
fil the vacuum in the growing medical schools and industry.
8. Development of human resource, research and technology in this institute wil ultimately help in the
development of national economy.
During the first year of MPhil leading to PhD program, students wil have to complete their 30 credit
hours course work. The course work wil comprise of:
1. Compulsory courses for al the students irrespective of their field of specialty =08 Credit Hrs
2. Core courses in the respective field of specialty
As per HEC guidelines, al PhD scholars wil be required to fol ow additional 18 credit hours
courses in addition to the courses completed during their MPhil studies.
Note: 1 credit hour means 16 hours of lecturing. Credit hours shown as 2+1or 2+0 means 2
